Hey i need some help After watching the DVD "Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" I would like your reaction and opinion.?

i have some questions to ..

1. It is one-sided and biased, for sure, however no matter what you feel about Fox News, the real issue is how can one man be allowed to influence 3/4 of the population of the world unchecked?

2.What does this say about the lack of competition in the communications and media business? What can you do about it?

3. Do you think it is a concern that FOX media shows fear - of strangers, "others", religions, political beliefs? It implies that we need protection from those "differences". Do we??

    1. No one has a gun at their head forcing them to consume Murdoch's products. And you are not entitled to say what other people should be getting from their purchases. For all you know, they don't even want the truth.

    When you say why can any one man "be allowed", what does that mean? The government should own and control all media? What makes you think that would be any better?

    2. It says that you are free to offer for sale all the communications and media you want. But if your business cannot survive, it's not because of lack of competition. It's because people don't want what you've got to offer.

    3. Fox media can show what it wants. People have beliefs and fears. What makes you think yours are any better. The question implies that the person asking the question knows what's better for people, than people.
